New Caledonia is a unique archipelago in the Pacific. You can choose to come and immerse yourself in the core of Kanak culture. To do this, nothing’s better than staying with a tribe. Along the Eastern cost and on the islands, traditions are still very much alive.

Discover the "tables d'hôtes"

Tables d’hotes have been multiplying in Noumea, as well as on Grande Terre and the islands. Often associated with homestay accommodations, they allow you to live like a Caledonian during your visit.

Nouméa, the capital city of New Caledonia is on the ocean. Several bays extend along the city, providing magnificent beaches and points of view. Besides its natural features, Nouméa also has very attractive cultural offerings for tourists who choose to visit there.

From Ouvéa to the Isle of Pines, passing through Lifou, Tiga and Maré, the five islands bordering the Mainland, Grande Terre to the East are yet more gems to discover. From the blue hole of Hanawa at Ouvéa to the Warrior’s Leap at Wakone on Maré, via the Jokin Cliffs at Lifou or the Oro Bay on the Isle of Pines, let yourself be amazed!

The West Coast of the mainland (Grande Terre) shows off a great variety of scenery from its northern tip down to the area surrounding Nouméa. Characterised by both large spaces favouring cattle farming and a lagoon of stunning beauty, the West Coast is also host to a rich cultural heritage.

The central mountain range of the Mainland (Grande Terre) is a natural boundary, overlooking the very different faces of the East and West Coasts. Exposed to strong winds and therefore more humid, the eastern coast offers scenery with sumptuous flora. With a population of largely Melanesian origin, the East Coast has also retained a particularly charming flavour of authenticity.

The Great South, comprising the Mont-Dore and Yaté municipalities, is the most symbolic region for New Caledonia’s three main colours: blue, green and red. From the rainforest to the mining lands there are a thousand shades of green, while the ocean offers a dazzling palette of blues. But if one colour dominates the Great South, it is the specific red of its ground.

Just 35 minutes from Nouméa, stay in the fully furnished, 56m² bungalows at les Cases de Plum gîte. The perfect departure point to discover the richly-coloured scenery of the Deep South of New Caledonia. Relax and recharge your batteries in the gîte’s beautiful tropical garden.
